Spiritual Companioning and Professional Supervision
Having worked in Church Leadership and Pastoral ministry for around 40 years I have had the privilege of walking alongside many people in their various life’s contexts and experiences.
On completing my training with Spiritual Growth Ministries in 2010 I began practicing as a Spiritual Companion after registering with the NZ Association of Christian Spiritual Directors. In 2022 I became a member of SDI, Spiritual Directors International.
I am also a Professional Supervisor, certified to practice through the Unitec Professional Skills training programme in association with the NZ Coaching and Mentoring Centre, and offer Supervision to Spiritual Directors as well as clergy and leaders of faith based communities.
